Chapter 43: Temptation

"Feeded?" Guo Heng's face was a little gloomy, and he said: "They are fed, can they be fed on top?" ”

Wang Zhong was stunned, he also knew that in the local Jinyiwei thousands of households, none of them were the core figures of Jinyiwei, and the core figures of Jinyiwei were all in Beijing, and they were all selected by Zhu Yuanzhang, which can be described as loyal. It may not be impossible to win over. But the decision is not just about money.

Wang Zhong reacted immediately. said: "You mean, Nanjing Jinyiwei is here?" ”

Guo Huan said: "This is what I think is the most likely thing, Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang." He Xi is just a pretense, and in the end he will receive a credit. Our real enemy is Jinyiwei. I have inquired, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard has not appeared in public for more than ten days. ”

Wang Zhong said: "Isn't this normal? Jinyiwei does private affairs, and he is not Luan Yiwei, who stands guard for His Majesty. What's wrong with not showing up for a few days? ”

Guo Huan said: "Normal. Whenever this time comes, it is Jinyiwei who has a big move. What do you think is this big move? ”

Wang Zhong gasped and said, "You mean us? ”

Guo Huan said: "I don't want it to be, but I don't have to." ”

Wang Zhong said: "Understand, I'll arrange it, cast the net, not only to monitor the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, but also to monitor if there are suspicious characters in Hangzhou." Don't worry, if Jinyiwei comes, it will never be possible to escape your eyes and mine. ”

------

Less than a hundred steps outside the Yamen of the Chief Minister, there is a restaurant. The shopkeeper of the restaurant walked in from outside. It's very leisurely to take a figure-eight step, or take care of the guys from time to time, this is not right, that is not good. Said that they put the wine in the wrong place, and the table was not wiped clean. I had to stare at the guy and clean up before leaving.

Let the guy secretly slander, this shopkeeper seems to have taken the wrong medicine.

But he didn't know that the shopkeeper of the restaurant, as soon as he entered the backyard, he immediately lifted the front swing, strode to the main hall of the backyard, saw the people inside, and immediately knelt down and said: "Liu Ben, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, has seen the commander." ”

The person sitting in the main hall was none other than Mao Xiang.

At this moment, Mao Xiang is completely different from in Nanjing, and I don't know how to add a beard and cover most of his face. A turban is wrapped around his head. Dressed in a short outfit, with patches on his clothes. At first glance, it is the dress of a dock worker.

Even if Mao Xiang's acquaintances don't listen to Mao Xiang's speech, they can't recognize him.

However, he was sitting in the right seat at the moment, holding the general account book, and his bearing was as good as ever. Anyone can see that it's not an ordinary person.

Mao Xiang put down the account book in his hand and closed it. But I saw that it was the general account of Zhejiang's money and grain. This is not a top secret in the yamen, but it is not something that ordinary people can obtain. Mao Xiang said, "Get up." What's going on in the yamen? ”

Liu Ben said: "According to the judge's yamen, the word has just been passed on, in order to welcome Lord He. Cleaned up the whole city, let the whole city report that there were unknown people haunting, and I also got the news that I sent people to the Qianhu Office according to the judge's yamen. ”

Mao Xiang said: "Guo Huan is not a waste. It's just that thousands of households in Hangzhou Jinyi are all waste. After this incident. None of these people want to live. You do things well, this Hangzhou Jinyi Wei Qianhu is yours. ”

Liu Ben was overjoyed, and then some rabbits and foxes died.

Liu Ben, the secret pile, is inherited from father to son, and he is already the second generation. When it first started, when Liu Ben's father was working on dark piles in Hangzhou, it was more than 20 years ago, and at that time, this was still Zhang Shicheng's territory. Later, Cao Guogong attacked Hangzhou. In terms of saying that he was a guard general in Hangzhou, Liu Ben's father was meritorious, so he had the official position of Jinyi Wei Baihu.

It's just that at that time, with the help of the gap in Damink Hangzhou. Liu Ben's father took the restaurant. and some of the silver and gold are finely soft. Naturally, I don't want to be a spy. After all, the end of being a spy may not be much better.

At that time, there was no Jinyi Guard.

The imperial court felt that Liu Ben's father was meritorious, so he let him be a dark stake in Hangzhou. So the court spy became a wealthy man in Hangzhou, with little property, but he was also the number one person.

It's just that Liu Ben and his father's thoughts are different.

His father was in troubled times, and he saw people like weeds and life like duckweed. Just live well, don't want to take risks. The days of the rich man in the city of Hangzhou were enough for him. But for Liu Ben, the plan is not enough. So, when Jin Yiwei launched an investigation into Guo Huan. Liu Ben felt that this was an opportunity, relying on his restaurant to be close to the Yamen of the Political Secretary. got a lot of secrets, for example, Hangzhou Jinyi Wei Qianhu was bought up and down.

In fact, he also knew that Jin Yiwei was not an ordinary official. If something goes wrong with an ordinary official, he can be dismissed or dismissed. There are other punishments as well. But Jinyiwei is different. There was really a serious problem, and only one word died.

Not to mention, the intelligence agencies emphasize loyalty the most, and betrayal is the most fearful. Hangzhou Qianhu is a taboo. Anyone who knows about it, don't want to live, even if you don't know about it, it is estimated that you will be put into another book. The end can be imagined.

This made Liu Ben also have a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Liu Ben said: "Thank you for the cultivation of the commander. ”

Mao Xiang said: "Merit will be rewarded, and there will be punishment, this is the rule of Jinyiwei, don't thank me." However, during this period of time, you have to keep an eye on the affairs of the yamen, and report to me as soon as possible if there is anything. Especially when it comes to Secretary He, we can't delay for a moment. When necessary, you can show your identity. ”

Liu Ben said: "Yes." Then he also had some doubts, and said: "My lord, we are not from Guo Huan, what kind of secretary is this, and what kind of person is this?" ”

Mao Xiang picked up the account book in his hand and said: "Do our business, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, this is the most basic." You know? ”

Liu Ben was shocked and said, "My subordinates know." ”

Mao Xiang said: "Let's go and do something." ”

Liu Ben immediately retreated.

Mao Xiang looked at the account books carefully for a long time, then threw them aside, and said secretly: "This Guo Huan has some skills." This account book is simply leaky. I don't know, can He Xi find out anything? ”

------

He Xi turned on the calculator function in his mobile phone and kept calculating. The account books around me turned page after page. In just an hour, the general ledger has been calculated. However, the result made He Xi depressed.

There is no problem with the whole account book.

Of course, this is perhaps the biggest problem.

He Xi remembered Ben Fu's law, also known as the law of the first number. It is also a way to check for false accounts. To put it simply, of all the data, the number that starts with 1 has the largest proportion of all the numbers, and it is much larger. Artificial numbers, on the other hand, do not have this characteristic.

He Xi used the computer to recount. Each of the numbers that appear, there is not much difference. And the number that appears the most is actually two.

From then on, He Xi concluded that the account book in front of him was a fake account, and it was a fake account with good workmanship. Not even a word is true from beginning to end.

That's where the problem arises.

Even if He Xi knew it was fake, so what? You can't use this to correct Guo Huan's fraud.

After all, He Xi knew it, but he didn't know why, he just wrote it down because this law was fun. But why is that? It's not clear. Even if this law fits into many scenarios. But national events are not child's play.

You can't convict people because of He Xi's one-sided words. It must be known that once Guo Huan's case is revealed, there will never be one or two dead people. I don't know how many people. This judgment is to be convincing to the people.

He Xi got up and wandered. secretly said in his heart: "Perhaps, you can only rely on the prince's connections." ”

He Xi took out the list of princes. The highest official position is Wang Zhong, the envoy of Zhejiang.

More than ten years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the imperial examination and restored the recommendation system because the talents from the imperial examination were not good. And Wang Zhong became an official through the recommendation of the crown prince. It is precisely because he was born in the East Palace that the prince also took care of him in many things, and in addition, there were frequent major cases during the Hongwu period. It has made room for many officials.

As a result, in the past ten years, he has become an envoy to Zhejiang, and he can be regarded as an important minister of the imperial court.

-----

He Xi invited Wang Zhong. The two of them tasted tea against each other.

He Xi said: "Before coming this time, the prince instructed me to greet Lord Wang when I arrived in Hangzhou. Lord Wang is the prince's confidant. The crown prince is attached to the arm. Everyone is their own person. ”

Wang Zhong said with a little joy: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still remembers Wang? ”

He Xi said: "How can you not remember, this doesn't let me talk." ”

Wang Zhong got up, saluted in the direction of Nanjing, and said: "The minister Wang Zhong thanked the prince Longen, my father is far away in Nanjing, and he is still concerned about me, I am really ashamed. ”

He Xi hurriedly helped Wang Zhong up and said, "Just get your mind." Lord Wang has a good life to do things for the court, which is to serve the prince. ”

Only then did Wang Zhong get up, and the two sat down again.

He Xi poured tea and asked, "Lord Wang, how many years have you been an envoy to Zhejiang?" ”

Wang Zhong said: "It's been three years. ”

He Xi said: "If I remember correctly, Guo Huan, the political envoy of Zhejiang, has been three years, right?" ”

Wang Zhong said: "Lord Guo has a longer term than me. It's been four years. ”

He Xi said: "Oh, in this way, Lord Wang and Lord Guo have worked together for many years. ”

Wang Zhong had already sensed something. It's just that when it comes to this, he can't help but answer. And it's a well-known thing.

Wang Zhong said: "We have worked together for more than three years. ”

He Xi said: "So, what kind of person does Lord Wang think Guo Huan is. ”

He Xi's question seems to be very neutral, but the answer is already in it, He Xi used to call Guo Huan as Lord Guo, but here he directly calls the name, you must know that it is very impolite to call people by name in ancient times.

Since He Xi asked so. He wanted to know something. And it will be clear.

What he wanted was Guo Huan's black material.
